Internships in Indonesia

There are quite a few different places to intern in Indonesia, where internship placements are widely available; however, the most popular places for internships in Indonesia are Jakarta, Bali, and the rural areas all around the Indonesian archipelago. 

Jakarta boasts the highest number of internships in the country. While most envision all of Indonesia as a tropical jungle, Jakarta is a bustling metropolis of over nine million people. Jakarta offers state-of-the-art professional experience and an endless amount of internship placements. Along with being one of the biggest modern day hubs in Southeast Asia, Jakarta was founded as a Dutch colony and boasts over 400 years of rich, international history. 

In Bali, affectionately known as the “Island of the Gods”, individuals can find a variety of internship opportunities, including those in education and community work and within the fields of logistics and marketing. While on this amazing island, interns will work directly with the companies to not only develop themselves but also the communities around them. Most internships in Bali do not require prior experience, however if the candidate majored in the field he or she is applying to, that does tend to help.

Finally, there are the rural areas to find internships in Indonesia. These placements can be some of the most exciting in all of Indonesia, as interns are able to discover parts of the archipelago that are less touristy and more filled with wildlife. One of the top internships in the rural areas of Indonesia are those that involve working in sea turtle conservation in the Pulau Banyak Archipelago. While many of the internships in rural areas can be a bit more volunteer focused, there are still internships focused on paid professional development, such as those in tourism, trading, and e-marketing.
